how do i rum my program

recall555 · 01-24-2004, 03:24 PM

hello everyone,

i am new to the linux game (4 days), but picking it up pretty quickly. I am using Man 9.2 and was able to successfully ./configure, make, make install the giFT source with ease once i changed the year in my system clock, but anyway, i was wandering how i might actually utilize this program now that it's in there.

Thank you in advance for your help

just run "giftd" to start the gift daemon. you do realise that it is only a daemon, and has no interface at all? you'll also want to install something like giftcurs to use gift properly.

I geuss then my question would be how do i know what to enter at command to make whatever i want to work, work?

Also, is there still a plug in a have to have to be on the fast track network or whatever kazaa is on?

http://gift.sf.net tells you all you need to know. yes there is a fasttrack plugin, and it comes with all the docs to configure it.

as for what command to run to start giftd, i've already told you this as well... "giftd" please read replies completely!

you missunderstood me...

as far as "giftd" goes i got that thanx,
i mean in the future when i install a program how do i know what to type at command.
ie. where in my directories would i look to know that it was "giftd"?

the programs documentation will tell you what you want.
